Book Review - "Thankful"

Book Description from the publisher:

Bestselling and award-winning children’s author Eileen Spinelli combines charming rhymes and whimsical illustrations to convey the importance of being thankful for everyday blessings. Thankful, by bestselling and award-winning children’s author Eileen Spinelli, combines charming rhymes and whimsical illustrations to convey the importance of being thankful for everyday blessings. Like the gardener thankful for every green sprout, and the fireman for putting the fire out, readers are encouraged to be thankful for the many blessings they find in their lives.
Spinelli exhibits her endearing storytelling with this engaging poem, reminding children how blessed and special they are. Meant to be read aloud, this heartwarming picture book will be a treasured keepsake for parents and children alike.

My Review:I absolutely adore Eileen Spinelli's new children's book, "Thankful;" this book is filled with cute illustrations and rhyming text. "Thankful" shares what various individuals are thankful for example, "The doctor is thankful when patients get well. The traveler, for a cozy hotel." Then the book has a sweet ending for the reader. This is a great book to help teach children think about being thankful for things in their everyday life and is the perfect book for this time of year as we are heading into fall and Thanksgiving, the season that focuses on being thankful. I highly recommend this book to snuggle up and read with your children.
